"The More That I Do"

Kompakt

Artists:

While touring the world following his breakout From Here We Go Sublime, Kompakt wunderkind Axel Willner's stage show underwent a crucial transformation. He ditched his laptop in an effort to bring live instrumentation into the mix, and this shift towards the organic informs his upcoming record, Yesterday and Today. First single "The More That I Do" plays like a bridge between the two projects, emphasizing the looped and spliced vocals of Sublime amidst a more stretched-out arrangement. Everything you expect from a Field track is here-- the twinkling synths, the diced-into-a-melody nearing-orgasm coos-- but the underlying groove is deeper and more earthbound, owing more to 1970s kosmiche than turn-of-the-century ambient techno. Here, Willner holds tight onto his signature elements while hinting at a shift in style that has us absolutely salivating for the remaining material off his new project. Thrilling stuff.
